Hard to argue against that logic until you look at the results of every single socialist society out there. "Share the wealth" instead becomes "spread the misery." Like the Nordic countries. Or most of Europe. Grinding poverty for everyone.

>> According to Bernie Sanders (and Hillary Clinton version 12.1), social programs in the USA are actually good for the economy. There is a fundamental flaw in that logic when Medicare loses 10s of billions -- perhaps more than 100 billion -- to waste, fraud and abuse on an annual basis. The problem is that for every dollar of input, there is some carved out for bureaucrats to live in the wealthiest community in the country. And there is some carved out for the incompetence in management that these people deliver. And some carved out because they just don't give a damn because they don't know you and they know you're not going to walk in their office unannounced. All that craps adds up.
